Question

Identify the problem with the following sentence.

As Karen drove her Mustang up to the take-out window, it began to rattle.
A. wordiness
B. unclear meaning
C. wrong voice

Answer 1

B. unclear meaning

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences unclear because the action doesn't specify to which object applies. The voice is well applied because the first action refers to the object that is being driven, however, the second action "rattle" is not applied in a specific object. This will be clear if there was only one object however there are two; "the take out window" and "mustang", it doesn't specifies what began to rattle.

Answer 2

The problem with the sentence, As Karen drove her Mustang up to the take-out window, it began to rattle is that it had B. unclear meaning. The use of the pronoun it did not define clearly the antecedent whether it is the take-out window or the Mustang she is driving.
